Looking for chill and fun indoor activities you and your partner can enjoy when the weather’s too cold? In this article, we listed down our favorite indoor activities for couples in Wellington.
1 Take cooking Classes at Savour.
Take your significant other to cooking class and see who can make the best meal! Savour is a cooking school that offers courses for guests to learn hands-on culinary skills.
What’s excellent about Savour is that you share the meal you made with the whole class. It’s a great way of socializing and making new friends.
They offer a wide range of international cuisine from French and Italian to Persian. You’ll also learn culinary techniques such as knife and cheese making.

2 Sing your lungs out at K-Zone!
Belt out your favourite tunes at K-Zone Karaoke Bar and have a blast with your partner! They have a lot of songs (over 300,000) in their data bank in different languages.
They continually update their list with the most popular songs, which we really like. You get to sing current faves and classics.
They have different sizes of rooms available. So if you plan to have a group date, you can bring your mates here!
3 Throw axes at Sweet Axe.
Ever wanted to experience throwing axes for fun? Sweet Axe at Wellington is a must-visit.
It’s important to note that they have a zero-tolerance policy toward intoxication. You’ll be denied entry if you down too many drinks before going here.
They have a lot of experts that would guide you through how to safely throw axes, what to do, and what not to do. Their experts would also supervise you throughout your stay.
What’s great about Sweet Axe is that they also offer (for an additional fee) a prize for the best axe thrower!
4 Conquer your fears at the Fear Factory.
Fear Factory Wellington offers a haunted ship experience – the HMS Wayfarer. You’ll be treated to a maritime nightmare that is so immersive.
You get to learn about Wellington’s haunted history while you get your adrenaline pumping. It’s a great excuse to hold on tight to your significant other when you get creeped out.
Suppose you have medical conditions such as hypertension, asthma, epilepsy, body injuries, and other related medical conditions. In that case, it is best to inform the staff so that they know how to handle your case.
Furthermore, if you’re getting really scared by the experience, just shout “Nightmare”, and the staff will escort you out.
The drawback to that? Your name will be added to their “Chicken List”.
5 Play board games in Counter Culture
If you like board games and chill nights, Counter Culture is a great place to go.
They have a lot of board games to choose from – over 1100 games, in fact. Some games are not displayed, so ask the staff if you’re looking for a particular game.
They have an amiable staff that could give tips and hints on how to play better. They also have a great selection of food and drink when you get hungry.
6 Glamping in Boho Bach
Unplug and reconnect with your loved one in this amazing boho experience. Boho Bach is highly recommended.
Get close to nature and recharge with your partner. You can swim in Scorching Bay and enjoy at a cafe after a 5-minute walk from Boho Bach.
You can also bring your own food and drinks, which you can cook in their tiny kitchen. You can walk towards Miramar which has a lot of cafes and restaurants.
You can also order through Uber Eats. Your own private hut has a queen-size bed with full linen, towels and bedding supplied.
The bathroom has a vintage-style slipper bath with a shower attachment, basin, and a flushing toilet.
7 Play laser tag at Laser Force
Laserforce has the latest laser tag system which makes the experience immersive and exciting. Play competitively with your significant other and see who is the best at shooting games!
8 Blast off at Space Place
At Space Place, you’ll learn about the New Zealand skies through interactive activities, exhibits and by peering through the telescope.
They also offer a planetarium with a full-dome screen with various shows for all ages. Each show also includes a live presentation of the night sky over Aotearoa.
During a clear night sky, you can experience stargazing through the Tomas Cooke telescope every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. Their interactive exhibits also make you feel like you’re an astronaut in outer space.
You’ll also learn about the Apollo missions, black holes, and asteroids.
9 Watch a live performance at the Circa Theatre.
Circa offers great quality entertainment at a very great price range. It is next to Te Papa so you won’t miss this amazing theatre.
Circa Theatre has always been championing New Zealand Theatre. They offer excellence backed by their years of experience dating back to 1976.
10 Watch a live music gig at Meow.
Meow prides itself as a hub for international and touring New Zealand bands that want an intimate space to perform at. Meow caters to a lot of genres of music – you’re bound to catch your favorite.
They also offer a great PA system so the sound won’t be an issue. They also provide good food and drinks in-house.
